The star is the 17th card and forms the 8 which is the symbol of eternity, the complete virtue or the eightfold path, and the compass rose's compass point 8 compass points, the 8 spokes of the eightfold Buddhist wheel that point to the right paths to nirvana and enlightened man. With the knowledge, inspiration, and creativity found in the cosmic star host to be brought home by a pure soul to then be mastered by the inspiration and enlightenment that the individual has in this life to realize their mission on their journey.
The card reflects the wave of emotions in the ocean of the universe where there is a sea of different choices and possibilities and manifestations to choose from. But what is the right thing for those who go out into the unknown to get the inspiration and knowledge to bring back to the waking consciousness. Through his consciousness, he uses the power to materialize and multiply both the creator's and the transmitter's energy to concretize what has been produced in the vessels that the soul has in its hands.
The star reflects the unconscious that comes to consciousness through us as transmitters of its energy. Like dreams that form in our subconscious and through our actions and thoughts are expressed in our lives in different ways. If we draw that knowledge and its entrainment and inspiration from the ocean where it is to be found and recognize its various effects they will have in our world of expressions and manifestations in the form of things, feelings, and thoughts.
Through rest and meditation we reach the state where we can pick up the energy we seek in the hidden spaces that this card represents and how we go about finding it in the hidden pages. So the Soul, like our light, guides us on the path we walk, and so it is how we deal with what we find in these hidden regions.
the card also reveals how we make use of what we find in the cosmos' sea of infinite manifestations. some of it, when we are in our daytime consciousness, we give back where it came from in leaves as offerings where we see that it belongs in the sea it once came from..
in the garden tarot I have chosen to illustrate the card with a naked woman who in her being without a mask wanders out into the cosmos to get the inspiration and knowledge from the cosmic ocean to bring this to water being the channel for this to the waking state to water the flower of the maifestative at the same time she pours back in what she does not want or sacrifices to the ocean of the infinite.
The star in professional life can be associated with Creative professionals such as artists, actors, and music writers who draw their inspiration from the hidden and imaginary world. agents, e.g. investigative journalists and researchers who are in search of the answers in people's mystery rooms whose agendas are hidden from others in their professional lives; psychologists and media and spiritual people in general who work with people's subconscious minds to clarify their waking state.
